Friday’s EMBA Alumni Conference – Follow Along

April 21, 2010

Hi Everyone,

I’m hoping to see many of you on Friday at SAP for this year’s alumni conference, “Is Growth Dead?” It promises to be a jam-packed day. Dare I admit that a year after graduation I miss having my brain stretched that far, Friday should bring that back.

Anyway, reality says some of you cannot pull yourselves away from work to get here. Many of you are just slammed, or simply not able to hop a plane to join us. And Class 10 is actually in class, I think.

You can still share the experience of the day, Twitter makes that possible. Don’t worry – if you aren’t on Twitter it doesn’t matter, you can still take part by watching what Twitter makes available.

You can pull up www.Twitterfall.com on your desktop (or on your iPhone for $.99). Tweeters at the conference will be using #VEMBA10 to mark the conference tweets. Twitterfall will allow you (even non-Twitterers) to watch the tweet stream and see what’s happening.

Here’s how it works – below there are 2 explanations of the same thing. The first is text w/ screen shots of what to do. Or here is video of me explaining it, your choice whichever you digest better.

Go to http://www.Twitterfall.com.  And you’ll see the screens shown below (click on each image below to see them bigger):

At Twitterfall.com you'll see this screen. There's no log in process, just serch for something.

Searching and logging into Twitter if you want to contribute to the tweet stream.

Presentation mode cleans up the screen so you can concentrate on the messages.

That’s it, see you on Friday. One way or the other.
